Non-transportation areas (walk areas) have been expanded for the majority of HCPSS schools for the 2023-2024 school year. Board of Education Policy 5200 Student Transportation increases the allowable distance students may walk to school based on the distance between a student’s home and school. 

These changes result in an expanded walk area for our school. Please view the online map HERE for our school that identifies the households that will not receive bus transportation next school year. 

We will send out information if changes are made that impact our school community. If you would like to know more about the countywide changes that were made, please visit the HCPSS website.

Hello Longfellow families.  Our technology classroom needs your help!  

We are in search of older iOS or Android phones or tablets that you would be willing to donate to us so we can successfully complete an amazing project.  Devices need to be from within the last 7 years or so, still work, charge, and connect to wifi for us to use them with the project app.  If they use a nonstandard charger (other than lightning, microusb or usb-c) please attach the charger so we can continue to make use of it.  Please send in any donations with your student for Ms. Baker.

Thank you so much for digging around to help us out!
